The Pats will draft a SS not a FS. If anyone is in jeopardy of not starting it is Rodney.
At least for this year I would disagree with that statement. If Rodney is healthy, he starts.
Eugene Wilson stats the past two seasons....
Games: 20
Interceptions: 1 (vs. New Orleans Saints 2005)
Sacks: 0
Fumble Recoveries: 1
Not exactly play maker stats, which is what we criticized Milloy for in 2002.
That is absolutely untrue. Geno was always the starter when healthy.
IMO, unless we draft an elite safety high (perhaps in spite of, depending on the learning curve), Geno will start next season. He's a good player when he doesn't have a revolving door next to him.
At SS, Rodney's near the end. I could see him in on running downs but I also see Sanders expanding his PT. Contrary to DWToys' post, Sanders played quite well last year (and would be even better with a better FS).
Whatever the answer turns out to be, this is an extremely important thread. Safety is a top need of ours IF Wilson is not the starter. If we get the Wilson of 2004, then we're in dang good shape. There was something about the way Wilson and Rodney complemented each other. EW hasn't been the same in two years --- it's bizarre how someone could look so good and then so bad a year or two later. Remember when Wilson was the better of the two rookie finds and Samuel #2?

go wash your mouth out with soap.
Wilson has plenty of talent to play either FS (the centerfielder kind) or CB. He originally was a CB but his superior size/speed ratio ( and AS's presence) made BB project him to be a great cover FS with the size to come up and drill a RB. Actually, I think it's time for him to go back to CB and get off ST coverage where he has been hurt a couple of times.
For the last time, size does not really matter.
And while I think Harrison is still the putative starter, I wouldn't be surprised to see him splitting a lot of time with Sanders this year.
So going into Week 1 of the season, do you expect Eugene Wilson to be a starting safety for the Patriots?
